My friend and I were regulars at No No. My friend is a local business owner and known. One day, he brought his brother there for brunch. His favorite thing on the menu was the crab cake which is not on the brunch menu. So, he asks his waitress if she can check with the kitchen. She says absolutely not. They do not serve it with brunch menu. The people at the next table hear this, ask their waitress (she actually checks for them, by the way) and they get the crab cake, while my friend had to settle for something else. He said to his waitress, "Hey look. The meal was fine, but I have to tell you, being a regular customer, how disappointed I am that you didn't take the time to actually check with the kitchen regarding my request." The waitress begins to cry! So, on his way out he even said he was sorry if he hurt her feelings and she replied, "You're mean. You embarrassed my in front of your brother!" (who she doesn't know)
Last night, because friends of ours really wanted to go there...we conceded to give it another try. After all, this happened at least 4 or 5 months ago. We had a nice meal. Gave a big tip to our waiter...and then suddenly as we got up to leave, the waiter takes my friend aside and tells him never to touch is wife again! Apparently, this women told everyone there that my friend grabbed her! (during the Sunday brunch...that's likely). The waiter got in my friend's face and said that the waitress was his wife and wouldn't even let us tell our side of the story. Has anyone ever had anything so crazy ever happen to them while dining out before? You complain about a crab cake and 5 months later are being accused of physically assaulting someone? If you are scratching your head while you are reading this and thinking, "some part of this story must be missing." Then you really do find this as strange as I did.
Pros: Good Food
Cons: Crazy service
